Profiler: Crime Scene

Jiao Yang discovered that Professor Catherine was sitting in front of the sofa, and there was also a small note.

Lu Yuanli picked it up and looked at it, it said: gift.

Lu Yuanli and Jiao Yang looked at each other, this could not be a coincidence, needless to say, it was also murder!Although the papers, styles, and fonts of these two notes seem to be different, they should have been intentionally left by the murderer, maybe by the same person, maybe not.

Several department leaders in the school immediately came to the scene of the ball crime, and at the same time called several principals nearby.

The community police arrived quickly, cordoned off the scene, and took pictures to collect evidence.Then, began to check the identity of everyone present.According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, Professor Catherine died of poisoning. As for the type of drug, I have to go back and test it to find out.

The people in the hall are basically the students and teachers of the school, as well as some invited actors, singers, magicians, performers and so on.Otherwise, it is some temporarily hired service personnel.

However, the CP branch campus is very large and has a large number of students.This large ballroom can accommodate 2000 people in total, and the banquet hall connected next to it can accommodate 800 people for dinner at the same time.Halloween is a big event in the school, and it is basically full, plus those who leave early, there is no problem with more than 3000 people entering and leaving the scene of the crime that night.Because they couldn't leave, some students complained again and again and became agitated.

On the campus, such a vicious incident happened, and tens of thousands of teachers and students were threatened. Someone had already contacted Director Jack, and Joseph was also immediately assigned.He also brought a large number of police support.

When Joseph saw Lu Yuanli, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help showing a wry smile, "Hi, I met Professor Lu again!"

Lu Yuanli shrugged, "What kind of fate is this for us!"

There were too many people at the scene, and it was impossible to conduct a detailed investigation one by one. As long as they were teachers and students of the school, they could leave after registering their names and classes.However, this was the case, and the investigation continued until after midnight.But I haven't found any off-campus personnel in question.

Of course, this is also expected.According to Lu Yuanli's previous speculation, the murderer killed Professor Gerrard during the black light.As for Professor Catherine, if it was poisoning, she could have left earlier and waited in the dark for the victim to die from the poison.It was not difficult to run out of the hall at the moment of black light just now, or taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd.

The police had no choice but to let the teachers and students present go back to rest, and temporarily blocked the dance hall and banquet hall.

The next day, as soon as Lu Yuanli arrived at the school, he was invited into the office by the vice principal, Brian.

Joseph spread his hands at Lu Yuanli, and the two vice presidents in charge of the College of the Dead had already arrived.

Professor Gerald belongs to the Medical Center and Professor Catherine to the School of Journalism.On the surface, the two seem to have no direct connection.Considering that Lu Yuanli is a professor in the school, it is relatively easy to accept emotionally, so Joseph asked Lu Yuanli to ask some leaders.

Johnson, the dean of the School of Journalism, briefly introduced the basic situation of Professor Catherine. She is charming, gentle and talented, and the students like her very much.Her husband is a well-known lawyer. She has two children, a boy and a girl. The family often travels during holidays.Colleagues have also seen that her husband came to pick her up for dinner.

Iverson, the vice dean of the medical school, introduced that Professor Gerrard's wife was his classmate in the medical school. She has three children, two of whom are adults, and their children are also excellent.

Lu Yuanli asked separately again if the two of them had had a private relationship.The two deans shook their heads in confusion. Although they were similar in age, they had never heard of any emotional entanglement between the two of them. They even had little personal relationship and basically had no connection.The two are with the other half, and their relationship seems to be very good. They are both happy in their families and successful in their careers.

Given their social status and occupational status, their incomes are ideal, and they have never heard of any huge expenses or property and debt disputes.

So, at present, on the surface, the only clue is the note left by the murderer.

Let me talk about Professor Gerrard first, he deserves what he deserves, this is a little easier to analyze.Since it was a "crime", Lu Yuanli habitually started with his major.

Lu Yuanli thought for a while, then asked: "Professor Gerald is 52 years old this year, not very old. In my impression, he is a very authoritative expert in cardiac surgery, but he devoted himself to teaching several years ago. Cultivate a It is very difficult to be an authoritative figure with outstanding medical skills. It seems a bit special to retire early. At that time, Professor Gerrard chose to put down the scalpel because of his busy teaching work?"

Iverson seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated and said: "Professor Gerald indeed retired from the frontier post four years ago. Maybe it was because of an operation..."

Iverson briefly talked about the situation at that time.At that time, Mr. Bieber, a patient with a wealthy family, suffered from severe cardiovascular tumors.His eldest son used some connections to transfer to the school's medical center for treatment, and found Professor Gerrard, who was already very famous at that time.

At the initial stage of treatment, some improvement has been achieved, and the patient's family members are very happy.However, because Mr. Bieber has been handling the company's affairs secretly, when the company's operation was in trouble, his condition suddenly deteriorated, and he had to undergo surgery as soon as possible.

At that time, there were two sets of surgical plans. One was relatively safe and conservative, but it might leave sequelae such as aphasia and walking inconvenience.The other set is more daring. If the operation is successful, the recovery will be better, but the operation is very difficult and easy to fail, and once it fails...

The patient's family preferred a conservative surgical plan, but Mr. Biber wanted to keep his head clear and his body free to move, insisting on another risky surgical plan.

Iverson paused, and then said: "Gerald just... listened to the patient's opinion and chose a difficult operation plan. But, unfortunately, the operation failed. However, because this is Mr. Bieber Therefore, the patient's family members did not say anything, but expressed their gratitude to Gerald.

Moreover, they are all doctors. I personally think that from Gerrard's point of view, there is nothing wrong with such a choice.First of all, the patient insists on using this plan, and the doctor must of course consider it.Secondly, another set of conservative plans is relatively safe only because the difficulty is low, and it is not absolute. Anything can happen on the operating table.If you are unlucky and choose a conservative plan, there are many examples of surgery failures, and there are countless counterexamples. This is just a matter of probability. "

The eternal problem in the medical field is whether to choose to let the patient live or to live with dignity.Except for Iverson, several people looked at each other and could only express regret.

"Well, eldest son?" Lu Yuanli suddenly felt that there was something hidden in Iverson's words.He asked, "Where are the other family members of Mr. Bieber, have they expressed any objection?"

Iverson shook his head and said: "I was no longer in charge of patients in the center at that time, and the specific situation is not clear. This is what I heard from other colleagues by chance later. Gerald felt very sorry for this incident. , and never mentioned it to my colleagues.”

Joseph wanted to ask something more, but Lu Yuanli shook his head at him, and Joseph would be satisfied and didn't mention it again.

After seeing off the two deans, Lu Yuanli alone asked the vice-principal Brian about some of the issues just now.

Bryan confirmed Iverson's statement.Four years ago, it was Professor Gerald who was competing with Mr. Iverson for the post of vice dean of the medical school.Iverson already had many years of management experience at that time, and Gerald was more outstanding professionally.Due to seniority and other reasons, Gerrard is at a slight disadvantage and is eager to achieve some outstanding results.

"He may have had his own ideas at the time," Bryan thought, "and chose a more complicated surgical plan."

Lu Yuanli continued to ask: "Just now Dean Iverson expressed his understanding when he mentioned the patient's eldest son, so what about the other children or relatives?"

Brian smiled bitterly and said: "As you guessed, Mr. Bieber has two sons, and his second son, Paul, is hard to accept. Paul has repeatedly ran into the medical center to make a scene, and even alerted the police. At that time, it seemed There are also individual cases, that is, after Mr. Bieber passed away, his company and career were handed over to the eldest son to inherit, and the family property was also tilted.

Therefore, his second son even believed that his elder brother and Gerald conspired to kill his father.The influence at that time was very bad, and naturally it also affected Gerrard's work.Perhaps because of this, he chose to fade out.Of course, after this incident happened, the matter of running for the vice president was over. "

The answer is almost obvious.How easy would it be?Lu Yuanli and Joseph looked at each other.

Joseph then asked: "Mr. Principal, do you still have any impression of Mr. Bieber's second son? What's his name?"

"It seems to be called..." Brian recalled for a while and said, "Paul, what kind of performer is he, who plays musical instruments."

With clues, Joseph jumped up, thanked Principal Brian, and was about to go back to the police station to investigate.

Although Professor Catherine has not found it yet, if there is anything, check it first.

Brian's office is on the fourth floor, and Lu Yuanli wants to take a walk for a while to refresh his mind.The two went downstairs together. Joseph smiled and said, "I'm a pragmatic person! Besides, the two crimes were committed very close to each other. Maybe the same person committed the crime? If one is caught, the other case will be solved!"

"More than that." Lu Yuanli smiled and said, "Honey, you are still an optimistic person!"

When Joseph heard the word "dear", he froze for a moment, staggered, and almost fell down the stairs.Although for Americans, this is just a modal particle, but maybe it is different for Chinese?Moreover, the professor is a serious person, and I have never seen him joking with anyone...
